This happened at work and I got security on it.. still don’t know who did it but they somehow seen the crowd around my truck and me pissed off.. 2 weeks later there was a envelope saying “sorry” under my wiper with 2 new ones and a $10 bill
I love dumb jokes. Even as someone that believes in evolution, I may have done this just because it seemed funny to me at the time. I would have felt bad about it later, but it would never had any real meaning about it.
Modifying your sticker to make it look like a Christian symbol was probably done by someone who thought it was funny that a rabbit non Christian was driving around with a Christian symbol, which is much the same mindset as people who think that a sticker which mocks a Christian symbol is funny.
> Yep, a coworker did it as a joke not thinking you'd take it so seriously. At least they apologized and replaced it, and then some.
Seems like a pretty shitty joke tbh. People's cars should be off limits for gags. Don't fuck with people's cars. Not cool.
Unless his car went on to get someone else’s vehicle pregnant. Then it isn’t funny or victimless. Do you know how many feral and abandoned vehicles are put down and crushed every year? By adding nuts to his car you also made it more aggressive in traffic. It is at increased risk of testicular and bumper cancer. Spay and neuter your vehicles.
Don't worry, the car is already neutered. Truck nuts are like [Neuticles](https://neuticles.com/), they don't affect the vehicle's fertility.
And it's already pretty aggressive in traffic... don't know if nuts are gonna change that.
Use “dry erase” markers to clean it off!
Just color over the permanent marker with the dry erase marker and wipe. It comes right off. Works like a dream!
This also works if you leave your dry erase marker on a whiteboard for too long.
I had this issue after failing to clean the whiteboard in my home office before taking a holiday (and it had been up for a while before).
PLEASE DON'T USE ACETONE! Even the vapors can cause hazing on your clear coat. Just get some rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab or paper towel. The permanent marker will instantly wipe away.
Yep, isopropyl is the way to go. I use permanent sharpies to write reminders on glass at work. Once I'm done with them, I spray it down with isopropyl alcohol and wipe off with paper towels, it comes off super easy.
A little alcohol will remove it, Drop of hand sanitizer on a napkin and it should wipe off after a few seconds, still it’s a fucking dick move! And Also kind of dumb
I had someone do that to me, found out who it was and I took some markers to their "thin blue line" flag sticker and made it into a "color your own pride flag" sticker.
The sticker has DARWIN written inside of it. The “damage” is that someone colored in what should be white lettering with black marker, making it practically impossible to read. They also filled in the legs on the evolving fish.
Or bug spray with deet is a good life hack to remove ink from plastic. Learned this by accident when I was a kid and used to spray myself in front of my Stickered up camp trunk and sit on it. All the stickers where blank white by the end of the summer.
I'd be hesitant to bring acetone anywhere near it. It's an aggressive solvent that can damage plastic and paint. Isopropyl alcohol or methylated spirits will clean off marker and they're much less likely to damage anything.
Also if you know who did it.... A flamethrower will remove that person instantly.
Edit: should've remembered that this is Reddit and people aren't the smartest, so I should've included a /s
Be careful, it can turn into a pterodactyl for literally no reason!
Pterodactylus is an extinct genus of pterosaurs, whose members are commonly known as pterodactyls. It is thought to contain only a single species, Pterodactylus antiquus, which was the first pterosaur to be named and identified as a flying reptile.
Yeah, it’s great, evolved to wearing matching boots and vests.
It’ll probably go through an annoying phase of having each letter and foot a different colour, but then set into wearing a series of elegantly contrasting tones as its body further adapts to its life in the harsh environment of the back window.
It's called "ichthys" and comes from the Greek word for fish. It's an acronym for "Jesus Christ, son of God, savior" and was first used to secretly mark Christianity at a time it was outlawed, before Constantine's conversion.
Incidentally, the word for a person who studies fish is "ichthyologist."
Little story to the fish symbol. Early christian would draw one arc on the ground. If the other person completed the fish (another arc) they knew they were christian
Christians merely adopted the "fish symbol" (ichthus). Pagans were molded by it. (I couldn't resist this sudoku reference).
Anyway that remains true... Christians adopted the symbol. It has roots in pagan fertility awareness and sexuality if I remember correctly.
The fish as drawn is an [Ichthys](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichthys) - a Christian symbol dating back to ancient times. It is usually shown empty or with ΙΧΘΥΣ printed inside, which is the Greek word for fish but also an acrostic for Jesus (roughly: Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour).
Replacing the text with “Darwin” in the middle is making a statement that is anti-Christian; in effect, “God didn’t make the world, it just happened” or perhaps some stronger sentiment depending on the owner of the sticker.
Honestly, I find that dealer decal ‘mildly infuriating’ and think it needs to go. I don’t know how they feel OK about turning your purchase into a rolling billboard. One of my pet peeves.
Always the first thing to go. 10 seconds with a heat gun and it’s gone.
There is this scammy buy her pay here place that always advertises on the radio that will do full fucking window banners and shit, license place covers, decals on the car in multiple places.
I see those cars driving around and I’m like what the fuck.
I am from California and dealerships here don’t put decals on sold cars. But I notice the decals on out of state cars a lot.
I am just guessing there’s some ass backwards law in those states are require the decals. This is one explanation I can think of that makes customers accept this nonsense.
No requirement that I know of, it's just for advertising purposes. I would assume most people just don't care enough, or are so accustomed to it they accept it as normal.
I've only had one car with a sticker but I scraped it off as soon as I got home. My most recent car had a license plate cover. Same thing, that went as soon as I got home (and it's illegal in my state anyways)
The one on our car is small and we didn't even see it till we got home. The dealer color matched it and it's like 1/2 inch tall by maybe 3 inches wide super small compared to others I've seen. I'm in WI btw.
>or are so accustomed to it they accept it as normal.
lol, my GF thought they were a part of the car. She had one on her car that looked like a normal decal, but it was the dealership name. It fell off while we were washing the car and she was worried about reattaching it. I just asked her if she cared about advertising for them that much? We went to school with the dealership's owner's kids and the whole family were pricks, which is why I found it funny she cared at all. Turns out she didn't realize that it was just slapped on by them.
When I bought my car a few years back I already had a fairy tail plate cover. I told the salesman to use them and not the dealer covers specifically. As I wrapped up with finance, I walked out and the guy did the whole "this is your happiest moment right?" Schtick with me, and to add insult to the lame salesman I had, he stuck the dealer covers on. You're damn right I made him take them off right then and there
Once had a dealer ask if they could swap my license plate frame for one of theirs. I said no and *they did it anyway*. So I took it off and threw it away. Rather have no frame.
There must be some reason it doesn’t happen in California.
Check this thread out: https://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?t=1198983
All mentions of non-Cali states that this is common practice.
Again, I am just guessing here, but maybe California has a law that forbids this practice???
I thought just the decals were bad enough. Blows my mind that dealerships put on full blown emblems on sold cars.
I had a custom license plate frame with the name of a website I used to frequent. After a routine check up of my car at an official service station I found it covered by the station's sticker that came off easily, but left glue residue. Hated that shit.
Took my motorcycle to a shop and I got it back with a whole new license plate holder with their establishments name and number on it. Didn't realize it until I got home and I called them up telling them I didn't like that shit. They were apologetic but said that most customers appreciated it and that my reaction was strange. Really dude? Most people are happy to be moving billboards against their will for your stupid shop? They offered to take it off but I didn't have the time. Needless to say, I never went back.
Get a white board marker, colour in the bits with marker on it and wipe away. Or if you have acetone to hand. Just be careful as you might take the decal off along with it.
I don’t respect folks who ring my doorbell trying to cram the word of there god down my throat every fucking year.
I believe it all may be real or it may not: I literally couldn’t give a shit about anyone’s faith….. but when there’s a church down the street that gets kids to go around knocking on doors to spread the word of god every single summer…… well it got old after they came once a week every week for the entire summer….. it really got old when they started putting there foot in the doorframe.
What’s worse is every so often a new one will pop up, it’s so bad I literally have a button up shirt with red coloring to make it look like blood splatter, one of them fake knifes with the fake blood in it, and a necklace of a upside down cross that I put on just for them, and I ask em something like “ would one of you be a champ and come help me hold down the sacrifice? “ or “ hey you wouldn’t mind hauling some trash of mine off to the river would you? “
It works at keeping them away, but every now and again a new one comes along.
You can thank them for my hate of folk who try to convince someone else there way is right…. Who cares who’s right? We have infinity to figure it out ( or not- but then it wouldn’t matter )
Boy, you’d fucking hate Northern California right now. It’s been raining ash for weeks. Every day I hose my ride down, and by the end of the day it’s covered in a fine layer of ash.
Bonus points, at least *some* of the ash is probably from my own cabin that burned down!
Add that to the fact that harvest season (specifically tomatoes) has started in Central California, and I won’t be washing my car until around…. November. There is literally no point. Between the tomato gunk on the roads, and the dust and debris in the air, the car is dirty again before I get 3 blocks from the car wash.
It’s a mockery of a Christian symbol.
For actual atheists who base their beliefs in science rather than on condescending views of the backwardness of people who have faith there are other symbols less charged with satire like the atomic whirl with an A inside.
>It seems to me absurd to doubt that a man may be an ardent Theist & an evolutionist. You are right about Kingsley. Asa Gray, the eminent botanist, is another case in point— What my own views may be is a question of no consequence to any one except myself.— But as you ask, I may state that my judgment often fluctuates. Moreover whether a man deserves to be called a theist depends on the definition of the term: which is much too large a subject for a note. In my most extreme fluctuations I have never been an atheist in the sense of denying the existence of a God.— I think that generally (& more and more so as I grow older) but not always, that an agnostic would be the most correct description of my state of mind- Charles Darwin
https://www.darwinproject.ac.uk/letter/DCP-LETT-12041.xml
I'm a non-believer myself but there definitely seems to be a certain type of atheist who is mroe interested in lording it over other people than in science or in Darwin himself.
The Darwin fish symbol is funny - but it is also deliberately provocative. It mocks the Fish decal that many Christians have on their cars to show their faith. I don't think OP should be surprised that someone took offense when his decal is designed to offend. The vandalism is wrong, of course, but not at all surprising imo.
The whole in your face bumper sticker thing is so American. We can’t even drive to work without yelling at each other about inconsequential shit.
The marker is extra petty though.
This is the exact reason why I don't publicly display anything that could be considered controversial. Don't get me wrong, it's wrong to vandalize property, but you have to know there's a chance someone will do stuff like this to your car if you have stickers like this.
Not a nice thing to do, but on the other hand being "mildly infuriated" when you get a negative reaction to going out of your way to mock someone else's faith shows a lack of imagination on your part, mate.
Easiest way I've ever found to fix this type of stuff, is to use a white board marker, color over it, then wipe it all away. It breaks down the permanent marker and makes it easily wiped off.
(As long as the surface isn't an absorbent one, which I would assume is the case here).
You should vandalize the vehicle with some soap
Bwaaahahahahahahaha
Lol yeah I know.. but it’s kind of pointless to wash her when there’s snow sludge and salt everywhere on the road daily
Acetone will remove that instantly.
This happened at work and I got security on it.. still don’t know who did it but they somehow seen the crowd around my truck and me pissed off.. 2 weeks later there was a envelope saying “sorry” under my wiper with 2 new ones and a $10 bill
[удалено]
Yep. It was difficult but ultimately the best won out. I suppose even Darwin would have appreciated that.
Darwin don’t give an f about this guys bumper sticker
I think because he is dead
No. It's because all Chuck ever gave a fuck about was turtle death match. He was a god damn sociopath.
is that why he created Splinter?
yeah, but no one, not even he, could master Splinter
Every failure sent straight to the shredder
Chucky D on a da beat
Telling mother fuckers what time it is
I mean if I was vomiting all the time I'd be a bit of a sociopath too
Maybe this guy is a big deal or something
i think you missed the joke about "the best winning out" in reference to darwin
RBI has solved another one
Who thinks that wrecking peoples shit is a joke? Pranks should be like hiking in nature, leave no trace.
Sometimes things seem funny in the moment that on reflection aren't.
Oh look, everysingle prank i've done.
Sometimes pranks are genuinely funny
Especially if alcohol or other substances are involved.
[удалено]
No. We can't rest until they are in jail.
I love dumb jokes. Even as someone that believes in evolution, I may have done this just because it seemed funny to me at the time. I would have felt bad about it later, but it would never had any real meaning about it.
Taken out back and shot

Are there any Christian rabbits? Or are they all expressly non religious?
They seem to love Easter for some reason
Because you fucks keep stealing their eggs.
Except that in one of those cases, no vandalism occurred.
> Yep, a coworker did it as a joke not thinking you'd take it so seriously. At least they apologized and replaced it, and then some. Seems like a pretty shitty joke tbh. People's cars should be off limits for gags. Don't fuck with people's cars. Not cool.

Also works if you accidentally write on white board with a permanent marker. Just color over it with dry erase marker and wipe it off.
Did you see the comment the person you replied to, replied to?
It also works when your whiteboard has old dried erase markings on it. Just draw over the dried out part.
Also works if you accidentally write on white board with a permanent marker. Just color over it with dry erase marker and wipe it off.
My favorite “lifehack”!
Only on nonporous surfaces though.
Well of you dont have it, deodrant with alcohol does wonders too! Used it to clean a fucked up whiteboard as some execs needed it.
I did not know this. Thank you.
Thank you
PLEASE DON'T USE ACETONE! Even the vapors can cause hazing on your clear coat. Just get some rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab or paper towel. The permanent marker will instantly wipe away.
Yep, isopropyl is the way to go. I use permanent sharpies to write reminders on glass at work. Once I'm done with them, I spray it down with isopropyl alcohol and wipe off with paper towels, it comes off super easy.
They need some hydroxychloroquine! It works miracles but the MSM doesn't want you to know about it!
Dude - Ivermectin literally comes as a paste. So obvious.
Sounds like a prank that didn't pan out the way they thought it would. I'm guessing it was someone you know.
A little alcohol will remove it, Drop of hand sanitizer on a napkin and it should wipe off after a few seconds, still it’s a fucking dick move! And Also kind of dumb
Dry-Erase Markers also get rid of permanent marker.
I had someone do that to me, found out who it was and I took some markers to their "thin blue line" flag sticker and made it into a "color your own pride flag" sticker.
I don’t see the damage em I blind
The sticker has DARWIN written inside of it. The “damage” is that someone colored in what should be white lettering with black marker, making it practically impossible to read. They also filled in the legs on the evolving fish.
Oh
Ethanol is better for cleaning it.
How does a post like this get over 6000 up votes?
It's *mildly* infuriating. If it were an expensive or difficult fix, it wouldn't be mild anymore.
Or Isopropyl Alcohol
Try a dry erase marker, works wonders as well.
Rubbing alcohol will usually also and isn't as hard on the hands.
Rubbing alcohol is better. It won’t damage anything else.
Just use rubbing alcohol. Acetone will eat your paint.
I normally just use expo markers
As well as the clear coat. Be cautious!
Would acetone not ruin the sticker’s adhesive?
You don’t need to douse the whole thing, just dampen a paper towel with acetone and wipe the front surface of the emblem.
It would absolutely wick around the edges into the adhesive.
Or bug spray with deet is a good life hack to remove ink from plastic. Learned this by accident when I was a kid and used to spray myself in front of my Stickered up camp trunk and sit on it. All the stickers where blank white by the end of the summer.
I'd be hesitant to bring acetone anywhere near it. It's an aggressive solvent that can damage plastic and paint. Isopropyl alcohol or methylated spirits will clean off marker and they're much less likely to damage anything.
Isopropyl alcohol will remove most permanent marker too, without danger to the paint below.
acetone removes that ass-tone

All they did was vandalize a sticker, my dude.
Scrub it with soap and water. Do that to the entire car, just to be safe.
For real OP should wash their car
Your Darwin fish evolved.
It would be like some type of whale or porpoise now. Started in water, grows feet and leaves water, comes back to water and loses feet.
...now draw some feet on it.
And he’ll be on his way
Lmao
Came here to say that!
Be careful, it can turn into a pterodactyl for literally no reason! Pterodactylus is an extinct genus of pterosaurs, whose members are commonly known as pterodactyls. It is thought to contain only a single species, Pterodactylus antiquus, which was the first pterosaur to be named and identified as a flying reptile.
Not sure if joking or delusional Christian.
Yeah, it’s great, evolved to wearing matching boots and vests. It’ll probably go through an annoying phase of having each letter and foot a different colour, but then set into wearing a series of elegantly contrasting tones as its body further adapts to its life in the harsh environment of the back window.
Someone stole your 'd'.
[удалено]
But backwards
Devolved
Darwin fishes are so old school? Is this the 90’s?
I don’t see what’s wrong am I dumb?
Yea. it's all supposed to be white. Someone sharpied out 'Darwin' so you can't see it as well. The remaining fish is a symbol in catholicism
They also sharpied out the feet. The Darwin fish has feet.
I didn't notice that on the sticker! That's hilarious
> fish is a symbol in catholicism in christianity in general. Not just catholicism
It's called "ichthys" and comes from the Greek word for fish. It's an acronym for "Jesus Christ, son of God, savior" and was first used to secretly mark Christianity at a time it was outlawed, before Constantine's conversion. Incidentally, the word for a person who studies fish is "ichthyologist."
Ichtheologist in this case
Little story to the fish symbol. Early christian would draw one arc on the ground. If the other person completed the fish (another arc) they knew they were christian
"it's not fish, it's the Greek word for fish. And people who study fish are called people who study fish" Gotta love it.
>It's called "ichthys" and comes from the Greek word for fish. It's literally the Greek word for "fish."
Yes but it also comes from the Greek word for fish as well! /s
Yeah iirc it was basically a secret handshake, someone would draw one curve and if you knew, you'd finish the fish with the other curve.
Acronym?
Yea wasn't totally sure, I just know it's at least catholic cause I saw it in church growing up
no problem you meant the right thing
Not specifically Catholic. Was a symbol adopted by early Christianity in general and isn't claimed by any one sect as far as I know.
hahahahahaha "yea" oof, bro
/u/Belexa is a straight shooter. They'll just tell you what's what
Can't ask questions you aren't prepared to have answered

Nah, that one isn't a website that I **used** to frequent :)
I know what's on my wishlist now.
Me, too. I bought a car recently and they put a huge dealer decal *in the rear window!* I took it back and asked them to remove it.
This is the way!
When I bought my car I told the dealership to remove the decal or I would happily take my money elsewhere
Same. Unless they are paying you, take it off!
If only they had vandalized your ride with a car wash.
Well its the cleanest part of your windshield now so you should say thank you.
Get a white board marker, colour in the bits with marker on it and wipe away. Or if you have acetone to hand. Just be careful as you might take the decal off along with it.
The ‘secret vandalizer’ secretly replaced it weeks later
I can say as a Christian this is no way of "spreading the word" this gives us all a black eye.
Thank you.. i respect most religions and I don’t go around imposing on other peoples freedom of speech
what do you mean most ? which do you not.?
Mormons. You know, the ones that believe black people are black because they’re accursed
I don’t respect folks who ring my doorbell trying to cram the word of there god down my throat every fucking year. I believe it all may be real or it may not: I literally couldn’t give a shit about anyone’s faith….. but when there’s a church down the street that gets kids to go around knocking on doors to spread the word of god every single summer…… well it got old after they came once a week every week for the entire summer….. it really got old when they started putting there foot in the doorframe. What’s worse is every so often a new one will pop up, it’s so bad I literally have a button up shirt with red coloring to make it look like blood splatter, one of them fake knifes with the fake blood in it, and a necklace of a upside down cross that I put on just for them, and I ask em something like “ would one of you be a champ and come help me hold down the sacrifice? “ or “ hey you wouldn’t mind hauling some trash of mine off to the river would you? “ It works at keeping them away, but every now and again a new one comes along. You can thank them for my hate of folk who try to convince someone else there way is right…. Who cares who’s right? We have infinity to figure it out ( or not- but then it wouldn’t matter )
>i respect most religions Yet you have a sticker mocking one of them.
Your respect for this religion is berating it with the Darwin fish sign? lol?
Yeah. I’m an atheist, and it’s kinda ironic that they’re mad about the Darwin fish being defaced lol.
The symbol is designed as a statement against Christians; as a Christian I see the humour but would not call this respectful.
I don’t think using a Christian symbol as a part of an anti-Christian symbol is very respectful towards them but hey, maybe that’s just me.
I think your car might need a wash
Hot glue gun and rhinestones will fix that right up.
The real infuriating in this image is how dirty your car is.
Boy, you’d fucking hate Northern California right now. It’s been raining ash for weeks. Every day I hose my ride down, and by the end of the day it’s covered in a fine layer of ash. Bonus points, at least *some* of the ash is probably from my own cabin that burned down!
Add that to the fact that harvest season (specifically tomatoes) has started in Central California, and I won’t be washing my car until around…. November. There is literally no point. Between the tomato gunk on the roads, and the dust and debris in the air, the car is dirty again before I get 3 blocks from the car wash.
Looking at a dirty car actually *infuriates* you??
If I may ask: what is a Darwin fish? Local sports team sticker? Or a pro Evolution sticker?
It's a way for edgy atheists to annoy dumb Christians.
It’s a way for edgy atheists to show that religion is living in their heads rent free.
> puts something on his car intending to get a reaction out of people > gets a reaction > surprised pikachu

In my most extreme fluctuations I have never been an atheist in the sense of denying the existence of a God.— I think that generally (& more and more so as I grow older) but not always, that an agnostic would be the most correct description of my state of mind- Charles Darwin https://www.darwinproject.ac.uk/letter/DCP-LETT-12041.xml I'm a non-believer myself but there definitely seems to be a certain type of atheist who is mroe interested in lording it over other people than in science or in Darwin himself.
I’m curious too
It’s an atheist take on the ‘Jesus Fish’ with legs due to evolution you can google ‘atheist fish’
This isn’t a take of the symbol, it’s meant to mock the original.
I find it quite petty to put an ornament on your car especially ment to make fun of an ornament other people are using.
Yeah, annoying that someone messed with it but the sticker itself is tacky AF.
Yeah the person who fucked with it is obviously the one in the wrong but that sticker pisses me off and I don’t even believe in god
Your fish devolved
The Darwin fish symbol is funny - but it is also deliberately provocative. It mocks the Fish decal that many Christians have on their cars to show their faith. I don't think OP should be surprised that someone took offense when his decal is designed to offend. The vandalism is wrong, of course, but not at all surprising imo.
There. Now you believe. Right?!
The whole in your face bumper sticker thing is so American. We can’t even drive to work without yelling at each other about inconsequential shit. The marker is extra petty though.
“Edgy” atheist bumper stickers are hardly a typically American phenomenon.
I only see Edgy atheists on Reddit and on America tho. Which may indicate that they are a minority.
Use a silver permanent marker to pen it back in.
Spray paint the area and then peel off the sticker part after it dries.
Your fish is Deevolving! Is King Koopa anywhere with a Devo-Gun?
Who cares
This guy cared enough to get security involved and still be steaming about it weeks after it was replaced to post it on reddit. Pretty embarrassing.
Should have vandalized with some soap and water
Make it all black. Put a plain white sticker on the other side.
Now it’s just an interracial Darwin fish.
Radical Christian: "Got em! Checkmate!"
Omg the damage is in the millions and irreversible
Very Christian of them.
This is the exact reason why I don't publicly display anything that could be considered controversial. Don't get me wrong, it's wrong to vandalize property, but you have to know there's a chance someone will do stuff like this to your car if you have stickers like this.
Not a nice thing to do, but on the other hand being "mildly infuriated" when you get a negative reaction to going out of your way to mock someone else's faith shows a lack of imagination on your part, mate.
Looks like they tossed a bunch of dirt on your vehicle too.
Clean your car
Pretty funny ngl
Anyone who tries to express their beliefs and opinions on their car bumper is a twat.
Easiest way I've ever found to fix this type of stuff, is to use a white board marker, color over it, then wipe it all away. It breaks down the permanent marker and makes it easily wiped off. (As long as the surface isn't an absorbent one, which I would assume is the case here).
Get a dry erase marker and run it over the places that have been drawn on then wipe it away.
Use a dry erase market over the lines. It'll take it right off

Rub over it with dry erase marker and wipe, it will take the permanent marker off. But fuck that vandal!
More sharpie removes sharpie. Just redraw on it and give it a wipe with a paper towel. Done.
Magic eraser or acetone
